Nah, if you could read Latin it was, AFAIK, pretty much fine for you
to have and read a Bible on your own; the tricky bit was translating
it into English, for which you were supposed to rely on the word of a
priest.

I was under the impression that the term "Vulgate" for the Latin
translation was intended as a pejorative.

Was it used in services, or just as a handy copy for the locals
whose Hebrew was maybe a bit weaker than they'd have liked?

I'm not sure; I suspect that there are others in this froup better
educated than me in the history and usage of the Targum.
